Creating and maintaining a competitive business that keeps safety as a priority is tough. Organizations have created excellent practices and procedures resulting in safer work environments, but behavior must be a key component of any successful safety endeavor. 
 Removing Obstacles to Safety: A Behavior-Based Approach provides a quick, but detailed overview for integrating that key component with any ongoing safety process. Relevant to every member of any workforce, behavior-based safety (BBS) presents solutions to ergonomic, production, and lone worker issues at every level. Though targeting safety at work, this book also serves as a handy and easy-to-understand guide that reveals how to use BBS anywhere at anytime because accidents don t just happen on the job. In fact, for many, taking this system home has demonstrated the value of positive steps that even kids can use to develop safe habits. 
 Case studies, chapter summaries, and a Q &amp; A section kept the 1st edition in demand, but the revised edition offers even more: additional chapters further defining managerial, supervisory and frontline roles, leadership strategies, and industry-specific examples of applying this proven method to and beyond safety initiatives. Removing Obstacles to Safety, 2nd edition, clearly explains the scientifically based formula for removing barriers to safe behavior, identifying and eliminating at-risk actions, and optimally promoting safety at work and at home.

 Safe By Accident? Take the Luck out of Safety - Leadership Practices that Build a Sustainable Safety Culture Despite decades of improvements in occupational safety, avoidable incidents still occur daily across all industries.

Moving beyond finger pointing, behavioral safety leadership experts and authors, Dr. Judy L. Agnew and Dr. Aubrey C. Daniels, deliver leaders a powerful message with clear calls to action in this data-based, practical approach to ensuring organizations are safe by design, not Safe by Accident. Agnew and Daniels reveal how behavioral science can help safety professionals and leaders foster a company-wide culture of safety. Starting with the seven common safety leadership practices that don t work (and what to do instead) to broader and more strategic recommendations that leaders can incorporate to create a high-performance safety culture, this book is essential for leaders who want to improve safety in their organization.

A Supervisor's Guide to Safety Leadership

Despite good intentions, the environment within which people work can unfortunately encourage at-risk behavior. Both formal systems (e.g., incentives, measurement systems) and informal systems (e.g., peer pressure, safety interactions) have tremendous influence on safety-related behaviors at all levels of the organization. The more leaders and safety professionals can accurately assess the behavioral impact of formal and informal systems, the better able they are to adjust their systems to improve safety performance and safety culture. Understanding behavior scientifically is key. This book will demonstrate how the science of behavior can be used to create safe habits and assess and improve organizational systems. The result is dramatic improvement in all aspects of safety.

A pesar de décadas de mejoras en la seguridad laboral, los incidentes evitables aún ocurren a diario en todas las industrias. Los recientes eventos catastróficos en el Golfo de México y las minas de Virginia Occidental arrojan un destello cegador sobre los fallos del liderazgo en seguridad. ¿Por qué es tan difícil conseguir la seguridad correcta? En un intento por mejorar la seguridad, las empresas establecen programas de seguridad, adquieren equipos especializados y se involucran en prácticas de seguridad que creen que tienen un impacto positivo. Lamentablemente, la medida de ese impacto es defectuosa. Tener una baja tasa de incidentes no es garantía de que una organización sea segura. Debido a las décadas de mejoras, las condiciones peligrosas y los comportamientos de riesgo que permanecen en muchas organizaciones, hoy en día solo ocasionalmente ocasionan incidentes. Pasar un mes, un año o incluso varios años sin un incidente puede ser una función de pura suerte. En muchos casos, las empresas están Seguras por Accidente. Los expertos en la seguridad del comportamiento y autores la Dra. Judy L. Agnew y el Dr. Aubrey C. Daniels, brindan a los líderes un enfoque práctico basado en datos para garantizar que las organizaciones estén seguras por diseño, no Seguras por Accidente. Más allá de señalar con el dedo, los autores revelan cómo la ciencia del comportamiento puede ayudar a los profesionales y líderes de seguridad a eliminar las prácticas contraproducentes y fomentar una cultura de seguridad en toda la empresa, desde la sala de juntas hasta los supervisores y los empleados de primera línea.
